Sprouting on Garden, Las Positas, Carrillo

Illegally-placed signs are flourishing, sprouting on Garden Street (Guzzardi, Secord); on State/Pueblo (Thomas); Chapala/Pueblo (Wolf); Las Positas (Anderson, Arnoldi, Guzzardi); on West Carrillo, several questionable sign placements. Pictures to follow.

Hurrah for Barney! In today's News-Press, he wrote: " Campaign signs: Here we go again. With the 2nd District supervisorial campaign going hot and heavy, I'm getting complaints of (1) Illegal signs all over the place and (2) stolen signs. Maybe it's the illegal signs -- placed on public property like freeway ramps -- that are being removed. How about the candidates -- people who want to be public servants -- getting the word to their campaign workers about what's legal and what's not?"

May, 2006 and we're back

Soon we'll be up and running with new notices on campaign signage, complete with pictures.

One would think that aspirants to be county lawmkers, seekers of the 2nd District seat on the Board of Supervisors, and, especially, candidates to be law enforcers, Sheriff of Santa Barbara, would obey the city sign laws. One would think. Some do, some don't.

Candidates: Here's the link to the Santa Barbara city: municipal code sections

So far, the biggest signage scofflaw is Joe Guzzardi. For a while he had that honor (?) all to himself, but Janet Wolf increasingly is a close second. As for the sheriff candidates: "Butch" Arnoldi leads in most illegally-placed signs seen, as well as the largest signs, all on private property, aesthetic blights, insist some blog reporters.

This blog does not yet have the addresses of the candidates; until then the only notices of wrongly-placed signs will be posted on this site.
